Emptying the cup of friendship

No matter how stubborn and merciless the life is, our longing to relive the past never ends. We continuously suffer by accepting the changes that life offers. The change comes either coated with full of glory or with the supreme power that we have no option to deny it. Blessed are those who can keep their inner harmony intact despite the sufferings. The best thing we have done so far is getting used to the troubles and go on with, presumably, the positive side of it. We neither can live the past nor can escape from the changes happening.

If I start love eating mutton then the "I am vegetarian" tag will automatically get detached from me. I no longer should worry about killing and other dharmas. Instead I can focus on producing cheaper, healthier and tastier mutton. I may end up in finding the artificial mutton which lacks nothing when compared to the original. Though there is a soul in the handwritten letters, the advancement and ease of communication forced us to forget it. That is OK, isn't? It is not only the wonderful stars and moon, even the lights we created are beautiful. Go on, take it, love it - that is life! 

DreamingAway: Emptying the cup of friendship

On the other hand, like the create-develop-destroy cycle, many things in this universe have not changed its fundamental principles. And we can be sure of few things that will remain forever - forever unchanged. Friendship is one of those. Don't even imagine getting back the kind of time you had with your friends in your childhood days. Even the friends disappear knowingly or unknowingly from our lives. It is been really very long since I heard of my mom's friends. Only the luckiest will have the same few friends throughout their life time. But the friendship remains in your heart for the life time. 

The means of friendship has changed with the our life style and innovation around. But whatever happens beyond the basics don't really matter much as long as it confirms to the foundational qualities of it: நட்பிற்கு வீற்றிருக்கை யாதெனின் கொட்பின்றி ஒல்லும்வாய் ஊன்றும் நிலை. Can there be a friendship if there is no trust between two? Build your relationship on trust. No matter what the circumstance is, friendship itself will take its means to keep it alive forever. The cup of friendship can never be emptied by giving. But be mad and crazily attempt to empty this cup by sharing it with as many people as possible. Perhaps, that is one of the ways to say Happy Friendship Day to your good old friends whom you have no way of meeting again!

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything.  For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...
